Alaska Day 3-Sitka

Me and Mike were up earlier then the rest of our crew most days. 
This day we got up and explored the ship a bit.

We rented some e-bikes and went on an amazing ride up to Blue Lake.
I can't get over how green it is here, and there are waterfalls everywhere!

It being Sunday and all we stopped by a cute little church building for a picture.








This is the day we lost Cynthia and Abbie to sickness. They headed back early not feeling well.
On our way back we some some totem poles and some salmon.




We had never really ridden e-bikes before, they were so fun! We would definitely do that again.

Alaska Day 1 & 2

We flew in late to Vancouver the night before our cruise.
In the morning we headed to the cruise ship to drop off our bags, then we rented some bikes and road around Stanley Park.






The next day was a day at sea, so we played some games, went to a show, and some people sang karaoke.






We have been planning this cruise for so long it is crazy that we are really here!

Flagstaff

Since we were in Flagstaff we decided to make a little trip out of it. What is a trip with out a little hiking. Our first hike on our first day there we went to Walnut Canyon national monument.
It was pretty amazing with the ruins built right into the cliffs.





On our way home after the wedding we stopped at Wupatki national monument. These were also pretty awesome!




Our last stop was at the Grand Canyon, Desert Tower. We have always talked about going to the Grand Canyon...now we have. Jaycee says we should do the Rim to Rim hike. I am pretty sure my knees would not make it.





It was so fun celebrating Parson and Emma, and it was nice that we could get out and enjoy some of what Arizona had to offer. It was beautiful, and did not disappoint!
